Gillette Stadium

Gillette Stadium in Foxborough is home to the New England Patriots (NFL) and the New England Revolution (MLS), and when the stadium-tour acts come through, it hosts the biggest shows in the region by a mile. Around 65,000 seats, sitting about 25 miles south of downtown Boston, so plan your travel accordingly.

For concerts, Gillette only books the heavy hitters, the artists who can actually fill 60,000-plus seats, which makes any music night here a genuine event. Here's the real tip: parking is plentiful but fills fast and empties slowly, so the smart play is the MBTA commuter rail to Foxboro station, which runs special service on event days and lets you skip the post-show parking-lot crawl entirely.

The stadium also sits right next to Patriot Place, an open-air shopping and dining complex, so you can grab a pregame meal and a few drinks without ever leaving the property. Budget an extra 30 to 45 minutes getting in and out no matter how you arrive, and wear comfortable shoes, because a stadium show means a lot of walking on either end. Big night, big crowd, big sound. Plan ahead and it's worth every bit of the trek south. Find upcoming Gillette Stadium events on Evil Tickets and lock in your tickets.
